Where I've Been to get Where I'm Going
“I used to think I wasn’t ready, I use to think I wasn’t at the “level” yet where God would reveal to me the truths my soul was seeking. I vigorously worked, I disciplined my flesh, I spoke of creation and light, I stepped into the dark forest of my shadows many times each time emerging changed but not enlightened with the truths my soul was yearning and begging source to reveal to me. Then, like a wicked curse, memories poured in from places I hadn’t been in this lifetime, my souls pain and anguish embodied this flesh, I understood lifetimes of pain and suffering and suddenly this one as well. Then as I sat feeling destroyed by these memories, lost in a sea of past pain, as I was losing sight of why and how, and what was I supposed to do with this information my soul received, I understood something, I understood that while the turbulence from all this ancestral suffering, from my souls fragmented pieces over time, was shaking the foundations of this life, it was this life’s suffering that prohibited me from access this deeper pain, and only when I removed this lifetimes suffering (that ,yes came from my past life’s suffering- how ironic ) was I able to begin to heal my souls past and the past of my ancestors.” ” Suffering exists in our mind. Pain exists in our bodies, and memories can hold both.” -G
